- The following transcript of the dispatch
tapes is courtesy of Kenny Young <task@FUSE.NET. ______________
-
- This is a summation of the 9-1-1 Dispatch
tapes regarding the December
- 14, 1994 Trumbull County UFO incident.
It is not a word-for-word
- transcript. At times, more specific quotes
will appear when deemed
- important. Special comments will appear
in [brackets].
-
- Many persons are part of this drama.
Their names are not all known.
- Police radio correspondence indicates
a UNIT NUMBER to designate a
- particular officer on duty. During later
portions of the tape when
- a more frantic climate arises, it is
impossible to determine who is
- talking. Unit numbers are not always
known, as will be indicated.
-
- A prominent person is Central Dispatch
for Liberty Township,
- Ms. Royanne Rudolph. The time is around
or after midnight.
- A UFO report has already been received
at the Liberty
- Township dispatch office, this is not
reflected on the
- present tape (because tapes changed at
midnight), but is
- referenced. Evidently, the first caller
was a female, and
- hysterically reporting a low-level object
near her home.
-
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
- Begin summation:
-
- County Dispatch (CD): 9-1-1, may I help
you?
-
- Male caller #1: What do you know of a
strange object in the
- sky? It is strange, like the back end
of a fighter plane with flames
- coming out the back. The object was descending
at an angle.
-
- CD then reports to Unit # 996, advising
him of vehicle in
- the sky near Samson Drive.
-
- #996 & #998 ask for description of
object.
-
- CD to Bob [perhaps a supervisor]: 4-calls
were received regarding a
- UFO over Liberty. This conversation is
very lively, CD plays back
- tape of previous call to Bob. CD laughs,
Bob laughs. Bob then
- advises CD to call the airbase. CD says
this will 'start a frickin'
- panic.' Bob says 'Mr. Spock' is in town,
laughs about being abducted.
- CD again asserts that there were 4 or
5 UFO calls.
-
- #993 advisess he will be in the area
of Samson Drive. He
- requests a specific locality where he
should go.
-
- CD advises #993 of 4 different calls
regarding UFO in the
- sky. At this point, the time is now 12:30
a.m. as the
- dispatcher announces.
-
- A phone call is received by CD from a
news reporter from
- Channel 33 in Youngstown. Her name is
Stacey. Channel 33 has
- received an additional call of a UFO
at Samson Drive from a
- female caller to the newsroom.
-
- CD to Ch.33: "Why are they in Liberty?
There's no intelligent life
- here!" She laughingly adds that
a Star Trek sequel is being filmed in
- Liberty. Ch. 33 tells CD that caller
described a bluish-green object
- with no noise, flying low. The big, glowing
object, which came down
- and 'zooped over' was now flying up the
Fifth Avenue Extension. CD
- tells Ch. 33 to do a story on the water
in Liberty, because it is
- making people crazy. CD laughs, and adds
that 'jokers are on the force
- tonight' CD tells Ch.33 that they will
be given the exclusive about
- the UFO, laughingly.
-
- A female caller phones in to ask for
Liberty Police,
- reporting a strange airplane or something
in the air on
- Samson Drive. The caller says it might
be a flying saucer,
- and it is not an airplane. She says it
is down 'awfully
- low.' This person was asked if she was
the same person
- who called Ch.33, and she said: "No."
She described the
- object as iridescent in color, bluish
purple like a long
- streak with fire coming out the back
of it.
-
- Unit #993 to CD, explains that a civilian
stopped him, saying the
- object appeared to be hovering about
50-feet off the ground. The
- civilian said it was a large object with
many lights on it, and it
- was heading toward the area of Sodom
and Hutchins Road. The officer
- advised that he would check the area.
-
- CD to #993
- Advises that another report near Samson
Drive and call from media
- referencing the blue-green object at
Fifth Avenue Extension.
-
- Unit #998: See's some lights about one
block over, large object.
-
- CD requests #996 backup, then #925.
- #996 copies, enroute.
-
- Unit #998 catches glimpse of UFO while
driving on Samson Road.
- The object is heading to Fifth Avenue.
Lights seen in area.
- Officer comments: "Should I set
my phaser for stun?"
-
- Unit #996 is now on Fifth Avenue Extension.
Advises that the
- object is "like a red, pulsating
light."
-
- CD to units: Object should be blue and
green.
-
- #996: "What I saw was red like a
pulsating light, like to the bottom
- of an airplane, but it was real big."
-
- CD announces: "We will now contact
the airbase at this time, stand by.
-
- #996: "Maybe its a flying Christmas
tree."
-
- CD: "Any green men?"
-
- CD advises that no more calls had been
received.
-
- CD places a phone call to AF Base, no
answer. CD then calls
- FAA control tower at Youngstown/Warren
Municipal Airport
- (856-4541). CD advises FAA operator of
UFO at Samson Drive
- and Fifth Avenue Extension, adds that
the object is 'in our
- jurisdiction,' and that call is not a
prank.
-
- FAA: "I am looking at the radarscope,
60-mile diameter of Youngstown
- and there is 'nothing' out there.
-
- CD: "Oh shit."
-
- FAA: "Not even anything up high,
no airplanes."
-
- CD advises of 5 calls, asks if FAA would
be able to monitor a Cessna
- airplane w/headlight on radar.
-
- FAA replies: "Depends on how high
& low. If low, radar coverage isn't
- any good."
-
- CD explains that she doesn't want to
tell units that FAA has no track
- of UFO on radar. She asks if FAA has
a 'clause' used to dismiss
- sightings.
-
- FAA: "Could be, could be. Maybe
it was a helicopter or something like
- that, flying low. Are you close to a
hospital?"
-
- CD: "As low as they said it was
from the ground, it would be
- approximately 5-miles from the hospital."
CD indicates that the area in
- question is closer to the Vienna Township
line, near the Vienna Airbase
- area.
-
- FAA: "We haven't had anything going
on. About a half-hour ago a [took off]
- out here northbound and climbed up high,
but there's nothing now in that
- direction."
-
- CD: I'm advising you of this, file it
in the "G-for garbage" can if
- you want to.
-
- CD puts FAA on hold, comes back to say
4 to 6 calls have now come in
- regarding a UFO above Samson Drive and
Fifth Avenue. The object is
- low to the ground with no noise, and
hovered for some time prior to
- departure down Fifth Avenue Extension.
Advises that a unit also
- observed a red object.
-
- FAA: "I can refer you to an 800-number
for UFO reports during
- business hours."
-
- CD: "No."
-
- FAA: "I don't see anything out there,
nothing on radarscope and we
- don't really do anything with the information."
-
- CD: "Well, I thought I'd pass it
on to you in case just so I'd do my
- job."
-
- More Central Dispatch-to-Unit correspondence
at this point
-
- Unit #998: In clear now, doesn't see
object anymore, but has no idea
- what he saw. Says: "Might have been
a light in the sky."
-
- Unit #925: Surrounding jurisdictions
advised to stop and interrogate
- "if they come across that."
-
- Female caller to CD, asking about UFO.
CD says dispatcher
- presently on phone with airbase at this
time. Liberty thinks
- it is from the airbase.
-
- CD to Units: We've contacted FAA, they
have nothing nor communication
- with private vehicles or helicopters.
-
- Unit #998: Then they're not aware of
anything?
-
- CD: Negative. They have nothing nor communication
with private
- vehicles or helicopters.
-
